Now, the attorney is taking on American Traffic Solutions and Redflex, the two vendors of red light camera systems in New Jersey, in a class-actuion lawsuit.

The state recertified the cameras on July 24 after they were suspended for five weeks. During that time, the 21 towns where the cameras were not certified properly had to check to see whether the amber lights at red-light camera intersections gave motorists enough time to get through.

Santoli believes that motorists who received tickets from the recertified lights should be reimbursed.

"I think they're entitled to be made whole," Santoli said.

Santoli told NJ.com on Thursday that 25 people had contacted him to join the suit. He had fielded calls from across the state, he said.
